    MacLisp has a new function: MAKE-LIST.  .  .  .
    Now I can use it in my code right?
    Wrongo, cons-breath!  Not unless I write it as:
    (MAKE-LIST #Q <area-number> 17)
NIL too has MAKE-LIST; neither MacLISP nor NIL support the "area" consing
feature as such, but no doubt a similar thing in NIL will be done this way:
   (DEFUN MAKE-LIST (<n> &OPTIONAL (<area> SI:DEFAULT-AREA)) ...)
